Abstract

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a respiratory disorder during sleep with characteristics of temporary breathing cessation and upper airway obstruction that recurred partially or completely. Obesity has been recorded as one important risk factor in OSA. The purpose of this research was to assess the effect of acupressure therapy in OSA. This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test one group design. Respondents were 18 high school students with BMI > 25 kg/m2. OSA was assesed using Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Acupressure therapy was done at 10 acupoints for 10 consecutive days. Data was analyzed using dependent t test. The results showed Epworth Sleepiness Scale score decreased significantly after acupressure therapy procedure (6.78 vs 5.28; p value 0.004). Conclusion, acupressure therapy can reduce the severity of OSA. Keywords: acupressure, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract

Liver disease is a disease caused by various factors that damage the liver, such as viruses, obesity and alcohol consumption. Many studies have been done to find natural remedies for this disease, one of which is Rosella. In this research, the effective dose of ethanol extract of rosella calyx (EERC) was conducted, in high-fat feed (HFF)-induced rats. The aim of this study was to determine the effective dose of EEKR based on parameters:liver histopathological, Alanine Transferase (ALT) and Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) level. The study was conducted on 30 male Wistar rats, which were divided into five treatment groups. As results, histopathological observations showed a significant decrease in cloudy swelling scores at EERC 200 mg/KgBW/d, decreased steatosis scores at doses of 200, 400, 600 mg; whereas ballooning degeneration, lobular inflammation, and fibrosis scores did not decrease. EERC 200, 400, 600 mg/KgBW/d significantly decreased ALT (p ? 0.01); while doses of 400 and 600 mg reduce GGT. Conclusions, effective dose of EEKR for liver disease based on histopathological features of liver, ALT and GGT in HFF- induced Wistar rats is dose of 200 - 400 mg /KgBW/day. Keywords: effective dose, Rosella, histopathologic, Alanine Transferase, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase

Abstract

Compound open depressed displaced frontal bone and supraorbital rim fracture was an uncommon variant of skull fractures and present a management challenge due to their anatomy and potential associated injuries, including intracerebral hematoma, extraocular muscle injury, and traumatic optic neuropathy. We presented a case of 22 years old male with multiple trauma including moderate head injury presented to our emergency unit with a decrease of consciousness and seizures. The initial GCS was E3M6V4 (13/15). Head CT Scan demonstrated a displaced depressed fracture at left frontotemporal with adjacent intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral prolapse. The patient underwent an emergency surgery. The fragmented bones were removed, we left the prolapse untouched, followed by duraplasty using a pericranial flap, and we fixed the fragmented supraorbital rim. Within 24 hours follow up, the patient already gains a full consciousness (GCS 15/15). The patient discharged after 3 days hospitalization with stable neurological condition. We concluded proper emergency surgery, removal of bone fragments and fixation on the superior orbital rim contributed to an optimal outcome. Keywords: open depressed fractures, supraorbital rim, frontal bone

Abstract

Lupus vulgaris is a variant of cutaneous tuberculosis in a previously sensitized individual that has a high degree of delayed-type hypersensitivity to tuberculin. Absolute criteria for the diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis is a positive M. tuberculosis culture on guinea pig or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination. We reported a case of lupus vulgaris in a 32 years old female. A diagnosis of lupus vulgaris was made by clinical manifestation, therapeutic trial, interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) test, and other laboratory tests. The patient presented with an erythematous scaly plaque on the face and left hand. Diascopy test was positive, consistent with the “apple jelly” sign. Regression of lesion was observed after 1 month of therapy with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Culture, PCR, and histopathological examination were not established due to patient’s refusal. The patient was allergic to pyrazinamide and ethambutol, therefore she was initially treated with a daily dose of 450 mg Rifampicin, 300 mg isoniazid (INH), and 500 mg levofloxacin for 2 months and continued with maintenance phase, three times weekly of 450 mg Rifampicin and 450 mg INH until one year. Treatment provided a good result. Keywords: tuberculosis; lupus vulgaris; therapeutic trial

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is condition which blood uric acid levels increase, in men are greater than 7 mg/dL and in women over 6 mg/dL. In Indonesia the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 32% in people under 34 years and increases every year. Beside an emping from melinjo seed there is Indonesian meals made from mixture of seed, peel and leaves of melinjo, namely as sayur asem. Consumption a lot of emping can induced hyperuricemia. This study aims to assess the effect of melinjo leaves and peel extracts to reduce uric acid levels on melinjo seed hyperuricemia male rats model. Methods: Induction was performed by giving high purine diet, melinjo seed crude drug (emping) 4.5 g/kg bw. Ethanol extracts of melinjo leaves and melinjo peel were administered in 3 doses. Results: Ethanol leaves extract of melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) 36 mg/kg bw could decrease uric acid levels up to 61.04%, while ethanol peel extract of melinjo 13 mg/kg bw can decrease uric acid levels up to 31.25%. Conclusions: Melinjo seed crude drug (emping) could increase the bloods uric acid level in rats up to 4.65 mg/dL. Ethanol leaves and peel extracts of melinjo could decrease uric acid blood levels in hyperuricemia rats. Keywords : Gnetum gnemon L., seed, leaves, peel, antihyperuricemia

Abstract

The routine and long term use of chemicals to maintain oral and dental health have the potency to result in the emergence of side effects; therefore another strategy is needed as an alternative such as using antimicrobial agents extracted from plants. The purpose of this study is to review the effectiveness of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract as an antibacterial in preventing biofilm formation. Biofilm is a component consisting of bacteria in a self-produced polymeric matrix, attached to an inert surface, alive, and can survive because of its ability to capture nutrients and withstand adverse environmental conditions. Lime peel contains flavonoids which are the largest group of polyphenol compounds that can work as antioxidants and antibacterial by denaturing bacterial cell proteins and damaging bacterial cells. Flavonoids can also inhibit glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity of Streptococcus mutans to prevent biofilm formation. Lime peel extract inhibits the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans. As a conclusion lime peel extract contains compounds with therapeutic potential and has the effect of inhibiting the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans so that it can be used to inhibit the formation of biofilms. Keywords: antibacterial, biofilm, Citrus aurantifolia

Abstract

The prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia primary school is 60-80%. Dental caries is a continuous dynamic process involving repeating periods of demineralization by organic acids of microbial origin and subsequent remineralization by salivary components, but in which the overall environment is imbalanced towards demineralization. Rampant caries is a sign of gross dietary inadequacy, complete absence of oral hygiene practice or systemic illness. Rampant caries is suddenly appearing, widespread, rapidly burrowing type of caries, resulting in early involvement of the pulp and affecting those teeth usually regarded as immune to ordinary decay. This case report presents a case of rampant caries in an 8-year-old boy and the treatment. The cooperative behavior of patients and parents is needed for optimal results. Keywords: Rampant caries; caries in children; caries

Abstract

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a hearing disorder caused by noise. Noise with the intensity of 85 decibels (dB)or higher may damage the corti hearing receptor. Pilot is one of the riskiest occupations due to frequent noise exposure from aircraft machine. This research aimed to identify the influence of aircraft noise levels on hearing disorder of both helicopter and casa pilots. This is observational analytical research with cross-sectional design, involving 30 helicopter pilots and 30 casa pilots. The diagnosis of hearing disorder was done using secondary data from medical records. The aircraft noise was measured by sound level meter, the other risk factors were observed with questionnaire. Data were analyzed by chi-square with ?=0,05. The results showed that aircraft noise (p=0,009; OR=4,929), duration of working period (p=0,026; OR=8,308), and flight hours (p=0,006; OR=3,222) were related with hearing disorder, but not age (p=0,093; OR=3,222). We concluded aircraft noise, duration of the working period, and flight hours are related to hearing disorder of the pilots. Keywords: hearing disorder; pilot; noise; noise-induced hearing loss
